Abstract
In a color television camera, a light ray from an object to be taken is split into a plurality of rays to be respectively incident on two or more solid-state imaging devices each equipped with a color separation stripe filter where the imaging devices are positioned so that pixels thereof are horizontally shifted by a predetermined distance from pixels of remaining imaging devices with respect to an image applied thereto. The imaging devices are driven in a sequence, and output signals therefrom are sampled in a sequence so as to produce a single multi-color video signal by combining the plurality of sampled signal components. With this arrangement, the frequency of color signal components within the multi-color video signal is increased from the frequency of each of the output signals from the imaging device. The sampled signal components may be further sampled so that a plurality of color signals corresponding to the colors of the color stripe filters are obtained and their levels are respectively adjusted for obtaining level-adjusted color signal which are then combined to produce a single multi-color video signal.
